As approved faculty for the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Sean teaches dispute resolution to other lawyers on behalf of the institute.
In 2017 he won the Advocate of the Year title at the Corporate Livewire Legal Awards.
Sean said: “I’m delighted to be joining the construction and engineering team at Royds Withy King. The firm has a fantastic reputation in the sector and I am really looking forward to adding my specialist ADR skills into the mix.”
Royds Withy King partner and head of construction and engineering Andrew Ash added: “Sean has a brilliant reputation and a proven track record for winning cases for clients both in the UK and overseas.
